Desk mounted articulated light with magnifying glass

thingiverse

Desktop magnifying lamp with articulation. Picture shown is V1.5 without reinforced arms and desk mount. Since it works, didn't bother to re-print as it holds the light well. All parts except desk mounts can be printed without supports. Desk mounts are specifically designed for IKEA standing desk which is about 22.5mm thick. There's a slight 1" diameter indentation so you can add some padding for additional hold or protect your desk from scratches. Magnifying glass salvaged from cheap helping hands. LEDs are oriented so they can be easily soldered in series if you rotate them as in - out - in - out fashion. The switch can be used to turn on/off, adjust brightness/color, or whatever you want. Takes 2 pins on the Tiny85 (1 led and 1 button) and can be powered directly from the board using the 5V and GND leads. Top and bottom are held together using four pieces of filament. The fit is a little tight on purpose since it's supposed to friction hold the base and top together. All joints are also friction held, and locknuts are used instead of regular nuts so that adjusting does not loosen the nuts.
